NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Another narrow batch of heavy rain is expected to develop in Kentucky tonight after midnight and slowly drop south into Middle Tennessee.
The Storm 5 Alert will fall into effect at 4 a.m. Thursday.
Like last night, this will bring heavy rain to some but not all. Areas north and northeast of Nashville have only seen .5"-1.5" of rain so they can tolerate additional rain, but clearly areas northwest of town cannot tolerate additional rain so impacts will be heavily dependent on the location of the heaviest band of rain.
All of Southern Kentucky and most of Middle Tennessee are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 8 p.m.
After midnight is when the flooding threat for the NewsChannel 5 viewing area ramps up. Much of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky will be under a Flood Watch overnight.
It's important to make sure you have ways to get weather alerts for both this evening and especially overnight. Downloading the free NewsChannel 5 Storm Shield App is one way you can do that.
